Garen's Bridal Luncheon

My family pulled out of my parents driveway in Dallas at 4am, which my sleepy self was not accustomed to as my body clock recognized it as 2am Seattle time ... But, it was well worth the early trip to Midland, TX just in time for Garen's bridal luncheon and kick-off the wedding festivities.

Hubs was a happy camper 
to sneak in Chick-Fil-A breakfast along the way.
nom.nom.nom.

There were 20 or so gals/women and I there was a huge surprise for us to see Garen wearing Granny Gayle's wedding gown.  She wore it 60 years ago, and my Great Grandmother Vera sewed it for my grandmother using material Paw Paw brought back from Japan after the war.  We were all in tears hearing the sentimental story behind the dress, so special!!


My momma put together this "frame" on posted it on Facebook.  
I'm very impressed and now I need to figure out how to make one!


My dear sweet eldest cousin is super ready for her wedding day ...

Now that's a GLOW if I've ever seen one!

Love the dress,that's so sweet! Do you use Instagram? You can download the Instagram collage on your iphone then email them to yourself and post them, that's how I've been doing it for Millie's monthly updates with the number of months or with the date.
